that would live there. The Refined Submittal proposes to implement all of these more exacting conditions set forth by the City, which include provision of: a. Seven -days -a -week, a.m. and p.m., full reasonable demand/response transportation services to residents. b. A full array of leisure programs to residents supported by a minimum level of staff dedicated exclusively to recreational programs and services. c. Emergency alarm systems in all units that can be activated from either the bedroom or bathroom and is connected to a central, on-site station that is staffed at all times. d. CPR and First Aid training of all staff whose primary function involves any direct service or contact with residents. 20. The Sunrise facility is proposed to be licensed and operated pursuant to the same laws and regulations as those applicable to the facility proposed in 2000. The Sunrise facility will be licensed to permit operation of a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly pursuant to the California Health & Safety Code. Licensed community care facilities are not required to provide any particular ratio of employees to residents. Rather, they are required to provide staffing sufficient to meet the needs of their residents at any given time. The needs of residents of an assisted -care facility increase and decrease over time. This is particularly true in light of the evolved trend that favors "aging in place," allowing seniors to remain close to established friends and family members in facilities with variable levels of service according to their needs, and avoidance of repeated moves from one living situation to another. 21. Once a resident requires 24-hour nursing or requires help with all of his or her daily activities (i.e., continuous, intensive care), the resident could no longer be accommodated with the project under the Residential Care Facility licensing requirements. Such residents would be transferred to a different class of medical facility. All other features of the Project as set forth in the Refined Submittal substantially conform to the City's planned development zoning approval for the site. 22. The Refined Submittal and supporting materials incorporate and reflect all features of the project that were approved by the City when it adopted the zoning applicable to the site. The Sunrise facility is proposed to include those building design elements, circulation elements, and site development standards central to PUD -85-09 and, where possible, improves upon them to reduce the intensity of use of the site and minimize effects on neighboring properties. These features include: a. An improved parking ratio compared to the minimum requirement of PUD -85-09. The original minimum parking ratio of the PUD -85-09 development plan was 81 spaces for 132 units, or 0.61 spaces per unit. 9
